[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 573444, member: 26019"] Scout Rifles are an extremely important personal choice. I predominantly use two types, bolt and lever. To me Scopes defeat the purpose of a scout rifle. The other hunters that I am scouting for outfit themselves differently. Some areas I prefer the short barreled 45-70 in other areas I prefer a large caliber bolt rifle with a center tang safety that wont rub open to the fire position. and that has a bolt lock that will not allow the bolt to come open without the safety being in the fire position. For me I don't see any need at all for a scope out to 350 yds with the bolt rifle, some of the guys that are quite a bit better shots than I am don't seem to have any difficulties out to quite a bit further than that. The Loggers in my area seem to prefer a 30-30 in the bottom of their tool box ( I would think that in back of the seat would be a better place but somehow they end up at the bottom of the crew box - go figure) [/QUOTE]
